In Kunde Hall, the fifth princess was thinking about it with a look of resentment.
"Fifth sister, it's useless for you to read. I can't take you out secretly." Zhao Yao knew that the fifth princess wanted to go out to play, so what was the use of her reading with him? He couldn't make the decision to take her out to play.
"Why can't you take me out to play?" The fifth princess looked at Zhao Yao with sparkling eyes, "Tenth brother, didn't you figure out that printing technique some time ago? My father also rewarded you with many things. I think If you ask your father to take me out to play this time, he will definitely agree...it hurts..." Before she could finish her words, her ears were pinched by poppies, which made her scream in pain.
The poppy lectured the fifth princess with a cold face: "Look at which princess wants to run out of the palace every day."
"The second sister, the third sister, and the fourth sister often leave the palace. Why can't I?" The fifth princess was very unconvinced. "I just want to visit my grandfather's house."
"Who said that your mother-in-law has no abilities? She is just a little beauty. She cannot let you be as free as the second princess and the others."
Only then did the fifth princess realize that she had made a mistake and apologized to Poppy: "Concubine, that's not what I meant. I'm just not convinced. Why did my father allow the second sister and the others to go out to play? Why can't I? Obviously I She is also my father’s daughter.”
Zhao Yao rudely poked the fifth princess's heart and said, "Because you are not favored and do not please the father."
When the fifth princess heard this, she glared at Zhao Yao angrily.
"you……"
"The second mother concubine is not favored either." Zhao Yao felt that the fifth princess's temperament in Kunde Palace had become a little restless in the past two years, "You can't be like the second sister and the others."
Liang Zhaoyi glared at Zhao Yao and warned, "Yao Yao, why are you talking?"
Poppy smiled slightly at Liang Zhaoyi: "Sister, Yao Yao is right."
"It's not his turn as a junior to say it."
"Mother, concubine, if I don't say this, the fifth sister will never understand." Zhao Yao looked at the fifth princess, with a stern expression on his cute and beautiful face, "Fifth sister, you and the second sister are indeed the daughters of the father. They are both princesses, and logically they should be equally noble, but the fact is that you, the fifth princess, are the most inconspicuous princess in the palace and the one with the lowest background."
"Although you are a princess, you are not as decent as Concubine Rong and Concubine De." Seeing that the fifth princess was unconvinced, Zhao Yao said again, "Look at the clothes and jewelry you are wearing compared to Concubine Rong." How are you with Concubine De and the eldest maids beside them?"
"I……"
"Before you came to Kunde Hall, were you taught a lesson by Concubine Rong and the other maids?" Zhao Yao unceremoniously revealed the scars of the fifth princess, "Did they bully you and the second concubine at will? Not only can you not Fight back, no one has made the decision for you yet.”
When the fifth princess thought about the days when she was bullied, her little face instantly turned pale, fear appeared in her eyes, and her hands hanging by her legs were tightly clenched into fists.
"I am also a prince, but how can I compare with Third Brother and the others?" Zhao Yao just deliberately mentioned that the fifth princess was bullied in the past, just to remind her that she, the fifth princess, was really worthless in the palace. "Does anyone in this palace or court take me, the prince, seriously?"
Hearing what Zhao Yao said, Poppy and Pan Cairen looked distressed.
"Yao Yao..."
"Fifth sister, we are not favored. It is not easy to live safely in the palace." Zhao Yao knew that the fifth princess was older and had more worries. "The goal for you and me is to grow up smoothly and leave the palace, not to dream about other things. You are not the second sister and the others. What they have is beyond your reach in this life."
In fact, the fifth princess knew it in her heart, but she just couldn't accept it.
"Fifth sister, you should learn more now, so that you can do what you want to do after you get married and leave the palace." Zhao Yao said, his eyes became sharp, as if he could see through the thoughts of the fifth princess. , "In the palace, no matter how unwilling you are, no matter how unconvinced you are, you have to endure it until you get married and leave the palace."
"Perhaps the person you marry in the future will not be as good as the second sister and the others, but as long as you live a good life in the future, you will definitely live a good life, and you will not lose to the second sister and the others."
Yu Mei and Pan Cairen looked at Zhao Yao in shock, as if they couldn't believe that Zhao Yao could say these words.
"You have an advantage over Second Sister and the others."
When the fifth princess heard this, her gloomy eyes lit up a little. She hurriedly asked: "What advantage?"
"You have no brothers vying for the throne."
"Ah?" The fifth princess glared at Zhao Yao and said angrily, "What kind of advantage is this?"
"Fifth sister, if the brothers of the second sister and the others fail to seize the throne, what will be waiting for them?" Zhao Yao thought that the fifth princess was too stupid and gave her a disgusted look. "They will be implicated by then and they will end up in a terrible situation. It will be a miserable end, and you may even lose your status as a princess. Then they will still have you, okay? At least you will always be a princess."
The Fifth Princess thinks what Zhao Yao said makes sense, but...
"What if the second sister and their brothers succeed?"
"The prince's brother is still here, so it's impossible to succeed." Zhao Yao felt that Poppy should be telling the fifth princess these things, not his younger brother. If he hadn't seen the fifth princess looking unconvinced, he wouldn't have bothered to say this. "Fifth sister, you will leave the palace and get married in a few years. In these few years, you should learn something from the mother concubine and the second mother concubine, and don't think about other things."
The fifth princess's little face turned red. She glared at Zhao Yao angrily and said, "What do you, a little brat, know? And you are my younger brother. You actually taught me a lesson... it hurts..."
The poppy grabbed the ears of the fifth princess and walked towards the side hall where they lived, "Yao Yao is doing this for your own good, but you don't appreciate it. Let's see if I don't beat you to death today."
Zhao Yao waved to the fifth princess: "Fifth sister, for the sake of making snacks for me, I will buy you the most popular rouge gouache in the capital this time when I leave the palace."
"You have a conscience...it hurts...concubine, please be gentle." The fifth princess was dragged away by the poppy ears.
"Third Concubine, I will also give you rouge and gouache."
"Thank you Yaoyao." Although Pan Cairen is timid, he likes to dress up. However, she only dared to dress up in Kunde Hall.
"Third Concubine, I will also buy you the most beautiful clothes in the capital. Just wait until I come back."
"When you come back, Third Mother Concubine will prepare delicious food for you."
"That `s a deal."
Seeing that Liang Zhaoyi had something to say to Zhao Yao, Pan Cairen left wisely.
"Sister, I'm going to see Sister Yu and the others."
"If Sister Yu hits Xiaowu, stop her."
"good."
"Yao Yao, please pay attention to safety outside the palace."
"Don't worry, Third Mother, I'll be fine."
After Pan Cairen left, Liang Zhaoyi raised her hand and gently tapped Zhao Yao's head.
"You shouldn't have said those words just now."
"Concubine, if I don't say anything, Fifth Sister really can't be saved." Zhao Yao said with a puffed face, "You clearly know what Fifth Sister is thinking, but you don't teach her a lesson."
Naturally, Liang Zhaoyi had already noticed that something was wrong with the fifth princess's mind, but after all, she was not the fifth princess's mother-in-law. Although she has a good relationship with Poppy, it is not easy for her to directly teach the fifth princess.
"Concubine, I know it's not convenient for you to discipline the fifth sister, but if you don't care about the fifth sister, something will happen to the fifth sister sooner or later, and it will affect the second concubine." Zhao Yao said, slightly frowning, his face a little solemn, "The fifth sister has been bullied by the second sister and the others since she was a child, and she has always held a grudge against them. She does not want to be worse than the second sister and the others, and she also wants to take revenge on the second sister and the others."
"The most important thing is that the fifth sister also despises her humble background deep down in her heart. She wants to change her status. In fact, the fifth sister is very similar to the eighth brother, but the fifth sister is not as smart as the eighth brother." Zhao Yao sighed lightly, "The fifth sister thinks she is smart, and we don't know what she is thinking. I bet that the fifth sister is already secretly planning something."
"What do you think Xiao Wu is planning?" Liang Zhaoyi asked.
"Spoil the second sister's marriage." Some time ago, the second princess was granted a marriage. Her potential consort is the youngest son of Marquis Wucheng.
Marquis Wucheng's father was a general who followed the late emperor. After the death of the late emperor, the Wuchenghou Mansion was not reused by Emperor Zhou Wu. After all, Emperor Zhou Wu had his own confidants.
Although Wuchenghou Mansion is not as glorious as when the late emperor was alive, its status and status are still there. Although Emperor Wu of Zhou did not reuse the Wuchenghou Mansion, he still respected the veterans who had followed the late emperor to conquer the country. Of course, the prerequisite is that these veterans are honest and honest.
The status of the Marquis of Wucheng in the military was naturally not as good as those of Emperor Wu of Zhou's soldiers, but at least they had some military power, while the Wang family had no military power at all.
None of the powerful families in the capital had military power. Although some children from aristocratic families joined the army and held general positions, they had no real power. Even the Zhenguo Palace is the same. Regardless of the glory of the Zhenguo Palace, and regardless of the fact that some of the children of the Zhenguo Palace serve in the military, they have no real military power.
The important military power of the Great Zhou Dynasty was in the hands of Emperor Wu of Zhou and the four generals, and the rest was not worth mentioning.
Dai Wang has some military power, but not much. As a vassal king, it is impossible for him to have too much military power.
The Wang family had no military power, so Concubine De wanted to marry the Marquis of Wucheng. Although Marquis Wucheng does not have much military power, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, so it is better than nothing.
The youngest son of Marquis Wucheng is very famous in the capital and is the dream lover of women in the capital. First of all, he is the most outstanding-looking among the children of aristocratic families in the capital. Secondly, he was very talented and his calligraphy was very good. Even Emperor Wu of Zhou praised him for his good calligraphy.
He did not want to become an official in the court, and now he teaches in the academy opened by the Wang family. He is the old son of Marquis Wucheng, and he is loved by thousands of people in his family.
When the youngest son of Wucheng Houfu entered the palace, the fifth princess met him and fell in love with him at first sight. After learning that the second princess had given a marriage to the youngest son of the Marquis of Wucheng, the fifth princess was naturally unwilling. Of course, no one knew about this.
Zhao Yao and Liang Zhaoyi simply thought that the fifth princess was jealous of the second princess, and did not know that there was another reason.
"Mother, I'm really afraid that Fifth Sister will do something stupid."
"I'll go to your second concubine later and make it clear." Liang Zhaoyi couldn't directly teach the fifth princess, but she could make it clear to Poppy. "I'm just afraid of your second mother-in-law..." Liang Zhaoyi always knew that Poppy hoped that the fifth princess would marry well and had great expectations for the fifth princess.
"Concubine Mother, you have said what you need to say. It is up to the Second Concubine and the others to listen or not. If something happens to the Fifth Sister in the future, the Second Concubine will not blame you for not reminding her."
"The best way is to send Xiaowu to the Li family's women's college to learn the rules and etiquette again." The biggest difference between the Li family and the Kong family is that the Li family has its own women's college, while the Kong family does not. . However, the Li family's women's academy only teaches women from the Li family, or women who have relatives and friends with the Li family. Of course, if the princess wants to study at the Li Family Women's College, the Li Family Women's College will also accept her. But so far, no princess has gone to study at the Li Family Women's Academy.
"Is the second mother-in-law willing to give it up?" Zhao Yao asked again, "Will the Li family accept it?"
"If your second mother-in-law is willing, I can ask Empress Li Bin." Liang Zhaoyi said, "If Empress Li Bin agrees, Xiao Wu can go to the Li Family Women's College to study."
"Let's see, I told the fourth brother, the fourth brother will definitely agree." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "If the fourth brother opens his mouth, the Li family will definitely agree."
Liang Zhaoyi shook her head slightly and said, "Your second mother-in-law and I will have to ask Empress Li for this matter."
"Don't you think the fifth sister wants to leave the palace? She can leave the palace by studying at the Li Family Women's College. She will definitely be willing."
"I hope so."
"Concubine, I'm leaving then."
"When you leave the palace this time, go to the villa in Dahua Village." Liang Zhaoyi specifically explained.
"My uncle's people are in charge of the big flower village, so I don't need to worry about it. I don't have to go there."
"Don't you have to go and see if Bai Lu is back?"
"Bai Bai has not come back. It will take some time before he can come back."
"You'd better go and have a look." Liang Zhaoyi really didn't know what to do with her ambitious son.
"Mother, I'm very busy when I leave the palace this time. I don't have time to go to Dahua Village." Zhao Yao said, "Today I'm going to my uncle to learn the art of war during the day, and at night I'm going to Zheng Zhengshi's place to play chess. Tomorrow I'm going to I'm going to Taixue with my fourth brother to have a look, and then I'm going to my second uncle's place to find Uncle Liang Guanhe and Zhang and the others. I have to come back the day after tomorrow, so I don't have time to go to Dahua Village."
Liang Zhaoyi said angrily: "You are really busy."
"Concubine, I'm leaving." Zhao Yao left with Tongxi.
Liang Zhaoyi looked at her son's leaving figure with a helpless smile on her face. When Yaoyao knows He Lianfang's identity, he wonders if he will still trust him so much.
Now Zhao Yao no longer needs to take out the jade tablet when entering and leaving the palace. The guard at the palace gate saw him and let him in and out freely.
The guard hurriedly saluted Zhao Yao, and Zhao Yao greeted them with a smile.
"Your Highness, I wonder if you like to eat Ziyang Steamed Basin?" the guard at the palace gate suddenly asked.
"I like to eat, I like to eat the most." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "The Ziyang Steamed Basin made in Zhenxilou is delicious."
"Your Highness, actually the Ziyang Steamed Basin made by Zhenxilou is not the best. I will know of a place that makes Ziyang Steamed Basin that is very authentic and delicious."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yao's clear eyes became very bright and he quickly asked: "Where is it?"
"At the junction of the West Market and the North City, there is a very small restaurant..." The guard at the gate of the palace told Zhao Yao in detail how to get to the store.
Zhao Yao noted it down and said gratefully to the guard at the palace gate: "I will definitely go and eat."
"Your Highness, there are many delicious foods in Beishi, and they are very authentic, such as Fuli Ma Chicken, sour mare's milk, steamed lamb, soy sauce meat..."
Zhao Yao's mouth watered when he heard this: "Is there so much delicious food in Bei City?"
"There are many snacks in Beishi that are not available in the West Market and the palace. They are all the food from the hometowns of people living in Beishi." The guard at the gate of the palace said, "Your Highness, the people living in Beishi are all low-status people. There It’s quite chaotic, so if you go, be sure to bring more people with you.”
"I'll remember it. Thank you for telling me such an important thing." Zhao Yao has not been to Bei City yet.
"Your Highness, as long as you don't dislike it."
"As long as it's delicious, I won't dislike it." Zhao Yao asked the guard at the palace gate some more questions before leaving.
Liang Guan was already waiting at the palace gate. He did not forget Liang Run's instructions and bought Zhao Yao his favorite buns and tofu.
Dingyuan and Tong'an were also there. They also had a rest today, so they followed Liang Guan to pick up Zhao Yao.
After not seeing each other for a month, the two of them had changed a lot. They had both grown taller and gained weight.
When Dingyuan and Tongan saw Zhao Yao, they respectfully reported to him what they had learned during this period.
Another guard asked: "Boss, why did you tell His Highness the Tenth Prince about Beishi?"
"I heard that His Highness likes to eat."
"Boss, Bei City is not safe. Aren't you afraid that something might happen if the Tenth Highness goes to Bei City? When the Emperor takes the blame, you will be doomed." The guard said, "Boss, you are quite strange today. You actually took the initiative to tell His Highness the Tenth Prince. These, you are not usually a talkative person."
"My son is about the same age as His Highness Tenth, and he also likes to eat delicious food, so he couldn't help but say something more." Of course, the real reason is not this. "Besides, His Highness the Tenth Prince is really too lovable."
"That's true."
In the carriage, Zhao Yao finished his breakfast and listened to Dingyuan's report.
"Dingyuan, are you confident enough to take the imperial examination now?"
"Your Highness, I still can't pass the imperial examination." Dingyuan was very self-aware. "However, if you give me another two years, I will definitely pass the imperial examination."
"I will go to Taixue tomorrow. Do you want to go with me?"
Dingyuan asked excitedly: "Master, can I really go with you?"
"Yes, I will take you to see Taixue."
"Thank you, Master."
Zhao Yao saw Tong An looking at him eagerly, with an apologetic smile on his face.
"Tong'an, Fourth Brother may know you. It's not safe for you to follow."
After hearing what Zhao Yao said, Tongan remembered that the fourth prince had met him.
"Slave... I know, little one."
Dingyuan looked at Zhao Yao and then at Tongan. He felt a little strange, but he didn't dare to ask.
Zhao Yao looked at Liang Guan and asked about the situation of Dahua Village Villa.
Liang Guan told him that everything was fine. He also said that those children were well trained and studied very seriously.
"After some time, you two will also go to the Dahua Village Villa to study." Zhao Yao said, "There are many people about your age there. You can become friends and exchange and learn from each other."
"Yes, Master." Dingyuan and Tong'an had followed Liang Run to the villa in Dahua Village and knew what was going on there.
When they arrived at the door of He Lianfang's house, Song Jicai and his four younger brothers were already waiting for Zhao Yao at the door.
They were very happy to see Zhao Yao and chattered to Zhao Yao about what they had done this month.
Listening to Chu Huan and the four of them talking about what they had played this month, Zhao Yao suddenly felt that his younger brothers were a little unlearned and incompetent. He could not let them go on like this and had to arrange something for them to do.
The second update is here to keep your word.
Today's two updates totaled more than 9,000 words.
Regarding the issue of the male protagonist growing up, how old will the male protagonist be after some time has passed.
In the end, I shamelessly asked for a monthly ticket! Please give me a reward! Please leave a message!
